shibumi®ʼs idler arms

All steering systems for automobiles use a gearbox (also known as “gear case” or “gear head”). Depending on the type of design, steering systems can be classified as “rack-and-pinion” or “all-in-one”-type systems (also known as “worm screw” systems, among many other names).

shibumi®'s idler arms meet all of the design and strength requirements for materials that provide a perfect balance, offering superior performance as a supporting component of the steering system structure.

shibumi®ʼs rack ends

Depending on their application, there are two different extremely efficient steering systems:

Rack-and-pinion system: Because of its precision, light weight, and design for easy installation in engine compartments under limited space conditions, this system is recommended for light vehicles.

All-in-one system: Because it has an increased robust construction, this system is specially recommended for trucks and heavy vehicles.

Thanks to their robust construction and high-quality materials, shibumi®ʼs rack ends provide the required resistance and performance for each kind of vehicle.
